Editorial notes the United Nations achieved solid postwar successes but its Congo mission ends while the country remains volatile. Rebels dominate three provinces, government authority frays, and the Congolese army struggles to maintain order as external powers shift from Soviet involvement to Chinese influence.
The Congo faces a fragile path to self rule as Moise Tshombe returns from exile to lead a potential Government of National Reconciliation. The U.N. preserved order amid chaos, while Kasavubu presses for a unified regime bridging tribal and ideological divides.
Gov Philip Hoff and Secretary of State Howard Armstrong clash over women's rights to civil service work. Hoff defends women performing hard labor while Armstrong argues the state historian job is not suitable for women. The dispute, framed as a contest over equality and "the weaker sex," adds a political spark to a dull summer.
The Brattleboro Reformer criticizes U S senatorial candidate William Meyer for backing "getting out of South Viet Nam" with China amid Laos neutrality concerns. The piece warns such “arrangements” with Communists are risky and questions Meyer’s readiness for Vermont’s next Senate term.
The piece frames the upcoming Republican National Convention as a pivotal clash between Goldwater conservatism and moderate wing led by Scranton, with debates over foreign policy, civil rights, and the future direction of the party. It cites Reston and Rossiter on the party’s historical split and the risk of shifting leadership to Goldwater’s rigid ideology.
The piece surveys Mississippi leaders led by former Gov. Ross Barnett pushing for unpledged electors as federal civil rights efforts escalate. It notes the climate created by extremist groups like the Klan and Citizens Councils, federal marshals at Ole Miss, and tensions between state and federal authority as integration pressures grow. It reflects on Mississippi politics, public order worries, and conservative backlash shaping the national discourse.
